Something Wrong... Again (Chapter 26)

•Stella's POV•

Audrey and I were up in my room. I was doing her hair while she read some Wattpad stories to me.

"Some people in Wattpad just have the same plot," Audrey said.

"Audrey, almost everything in this world is the same," I explained. "That's why people can relate to each other."

After I tied her hair in a braid, she sat up to face me, since she was stomach down on my bed.

"How do I look?" she asked.

I got up and got the mirror from my bedside and placed it in front of her.

"Oh cool," she said, tilting her head to see it more.

"Of course it's cool, I did it," I joked.

"I miss my brother," she said, pouting.

"Oh, Audrey, we miss them all," I said.

"And you miss Lukey most," she said.

I half smiled. "Yeah, but there's someone I want you to meet," I said, obviously changing the topic.

I got up and grabbed my phone and dialled Kellin's number.

While it rang, I thought of things. I couldn't keep up with the topic about missing the four boys. It seems wrong but it's better if I just moved on. I'm pretty sure Luke would, anyway.

"Hey, Kellin," I greeted as he answered.

"Oh, hey, Stella," he said. "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing," I said. "I just wanted you to meet one of my best friends."

"I thought your best friends were those four boys?"

I laughed. "No, no," I said. "I still have other best friends."

"Oh, okay!" he said in an enthusiastic tone of voice. "Where should we meet?"

"At the park," I said.

"Okay, see you guys," he said.

"Yep, see you," I said and hung up.

"Kellin?" Audrey questioned, standing up .

"Yeah, he's uh, he's a new friend of mine," I said. "We met back in a resort we went to."

"Oh," she said. "His name sounds nice."

I smiled. "Yeah, it does. He's actually from Silla High too."

"He is?" Audrey questioned.

"Yes, a section lower. I don't know why or how he knows me or Luke though."

"Kellin, hmm," Audrey muttered, barely even paying attention to me.

"Lets go, maybe he's waiting there already," I said, pulling her out of my room.

We walked going there but we were both silent. All I could think of was how Kristen was going to work things out.

Okay, Kristen and I met when we were still kids. By then, she didn't have any hair colors yet. We were friends until elementary school then I helped her do covers because her voice was so amazing. In middle school, she started to become famous and known. She was called by some manager and now she's working on a record label in LA.

But despite all that luck, she's such a secluded person. Starting when her family started breaking apart. Her brother died when she was 11 and her parents always seemed to fight. She used to email me things and she mentioned that her dad broke her one and only other best friend, her guitar.
